Ezekiel 17:21

All the choice men ¹  among his troops will die ²  by the sword and the survivors will be scattered to every wind. Then you will know that I, the Lord, have spoken!

2Ki 25:5,11; Isa 26:11; Jer 48:44; Jer 52:8; Eze 5:12; Eze 6:7,10; Eze 12:14; Eze 13:14,23; Eze 15:7; Am 9:1,9,10

¹ tc Some manuscripts and versions read “choice men,” while most manuscripts read “fugitives”; the difference arises from the reversal, or metathesis, of two letters, מִבְרָחָיו (mivrakhyv) for מִבְחָריו (mivkharyv).

² tn Heb “fall.”
